It's called "Sensationalism", plain and simple. Want to be differentiated from the rest, but you're pretty doggone mediocre? Yep, make some wild assed claims to get the masses reading your drivel.

Queue the sarcasm...

Those reviewers are the equivalent of the fantastic reporting we have these days.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
The nexus 4 camera is very average (quite an important factor imo).

The rest of the phone is excellent.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
It is very average. The Nexus 5 improves upon it considerably, thankfully.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Still I take fantastic photos with the 4. It's not the best but certainly acceptable in most scenarios. I'm actually impressed by the video recording of the 4. I take 480p videos(to conserve storage) and they look surprisingly good...

I personally believe the camera software for nexus devices is what hurts it. I love the simple UI it just takes some tweaking to the settings depending on your shot. The software isn't the best for hurry, point, and shoot. Then again if I'm in a hurry point and shoot mode I don't care about the quality as much. If I did I would take the extra 2 seconds and make it perfect.

Let's also keep in mind their isn't another phone in existence that it criticized, and picked apart more than a new Nexus phone. People have to find something to hate about it no matter how great it is. Usually it's the camera even though last year saw many youtube comparisons between the S3, iPhone 5, and Nexus 4 where the Nexus 4 was comparable or even better in some cases.........yet we still get "the camera sucks".....No it doesn't "You suck".
[Nexus 4 General] ClaranceWorly:
Well I have just today "down graded" to a Nexus 4 from a Note 2 LTE. My Nexus 7 made me do it ;)The N4 can do everything my old Note 2 could, ( bar S pen stuff obviously ) and for half the price. I immediately liked the N4's in hand feel, the sleek understated design and amazing screen. The Nexus 4 could give a few of this years flag ship phones a run for their money never mind last years models. And as for value for money it can't be beat. Yes I think I'll be hanging on to new pocket rocket for a good while yet :D
[Nexus 4 General] BrianDigital:
Well it doesn't have s-features you know so average like my buddies s4 can do....can do....**** nothing
[Nexus 4 General] Shubhamqweasd:
u just "upgraded" from note 2 to nexus 4 , nexus 4 is way better in every way but LTE and camera :D
[Nexus 4 General] ClaranceWorly:
True indeed :up:
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
I just read the Gsmarena review of N5, suckers are bashing N4 like hell.. Bloody fools..

I love my N4 & don't care what idiot says...
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
^this, the only complain i have is the câmera, as for the glass u cant complain because u know that it will have glass when u buy it, for the rest is perfect, some ppl say the performance is better on n5 so the upgrade is Worth, but who says that is kinda a dumb person, because ok it haves a better cpu/gpu BUT android is not fully optimized yet, thats why if u do some compares between art & dalvik u see that art depending what calculation u making it doubles the speed of dalvik, also who says that is na apple/m$ fanboy because saying that a quadcore is not fast enough while wp and ios runs smooth with dual cores.

Idk, just my 0.2
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandacookie:
Is it me, or are Zooper widgets wonky on the N5? The album, track info on music widget skins don't show, no matter what skin I use. Media Utilities don't seem to work right, either in that regard.

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Han Solo 1:
I am coming over to T-Mobile from Verizon. I had unlimited data and am getting the same here. My only question is, can I use an app like FoxFi to tether without throttling?

I understand that I'm getting 2.5GB of tethering off the bat. But if I choose to tether more than that on a given month (which I probably won't, but I'd still like to know), can I use Foxfi and not get throttled?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blakkheartt12:
From what I have seen tmo will still see it as tethering. You can try to spoof your browser to be seen as an android device, but that kinda defeats the issue as website will revert to their mobile counter part. But then again sk e people have had success with the spoofing of browsers. Your other option is to use a vpn as tmo will not be able to read the packets being sent so then no need to spoof the browser. But if you are tethering to an ipad/iphone, android tablet/phone then you can tether till your hearts desire without any issue. I tethered my transformer tablet for about 20GB (netflix at work, they have no wifi there) without any issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Not true

i use FoxFi and use usb tethering and t-mobile doesnt see any tethering activity just normal activity if it were just using my phone normally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Han Solo 1:
Ok, cool. I used FoxFi on my Verizon Note 3 without any problems. Have you used it in wifi mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blakkheartt12:
Yes you can use usb mode and hide tether usage but if you use wifi mode tmobile will be able to tell. There is no way to hide it without vpn or browser spoofing if you use wifi tethering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
as in normal wifi hotspot? if so i just use standard t-mobile app for that but it does work it just activates t-mobile hotspot so why run 2 applications lol.

again no, because i used more than 2.5GB and even under my T-MO account it shows no MHS usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blakkheartt12:
Not sure if you have 4G unlimited or not, but I do. On the unlimited 4g (not capped 4g then Edge afterwards) they will not let you go past the 2.5 GB hotspot usage. If you have a limit of highspeed data then you have to spoof or vpn. Look at all the threads in the note 2 and note 3 threads about tethering. All of them with unlimited 4g data are having to spoof or vpn to use it as a hotspot. It works for a little while without spoofing or vpn then all of a sudden they get the upsale page. That's with any method they say is suppose to be a work around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
no i have the truly unlimited i use more than 30GBs a month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blakkheartt12:
I guess you are one of the lucky one's. Numbers dont lie. Like I said look in the note 2 &3 forums at all the tethering threads. The majority of people cannot tether to their laptops and pcs without spoofing otherwise they get the upsale page. I myself tried all the "fixes" and it works for a few minutes then the upsale page pops up. I tried with both wifi tether for root users and foxfi. My android tablet on the other hand needs no spoofing or vpn just because tmobile sees it as a mobile device and so just sees mobile data. Like I said lucky you and the other few in your position, but for the majority of us yeah spoofing or vpn to a laptop or desktop is needed to keep tmobile from blocking tethering after the initial 2.5 GB is used.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ferraridave:
I had a touchscreen sensitivity problem that I've now resolved, I use an aftermarket screen protector on top of the anti shatter film that comes pre installed on our phones, and my keyboard was all over the place when swiping, it seemed the screen was too sensitive even with the additional protector on, I'm using build .527

I found the following file, max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc in the /system/usr/idc directory, and just altered the touch.filter.level = 2 line using Root Explorer.

Tried all values upto 7, which for me is when the sensitivity became too low and I had to press hard to get the keyboard to cooperate, I found for me the optimum setting is 5, so the line now read's touch.filter.level = 5 as per the attached screenshot.

You may have to experiment to get your optimum setting but for me every word I swipe is correct and I always hit the smallest of checkboxes first time now with 5.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ferraridave:
Also going to experiment further because I'd like to slightly increase the touch area (pixels) touched on actual touch.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah good find mate. In my ROM I'd changed that to .4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brapicoco:
Hi Dude,

Does this work also for the z1 touchscreen problem? Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah should do... They are pretty much the same device. It wont hurt it to try anyway. You'l need to be rooted
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brapicoco:
I guess you're familiar with the touch screen problem of the Z1 right? I want your honest opinion about that if it's really a hardware or a software issue.. threads are here in xda and in sony forums..

Thank you very much. If that can be resolved through software alterations then i'll try this one.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah us Ultra users over the fence have the same issue. I believe its purely software.

Reason being is that its not quite as bad, and by default these settings are difference. So have a play, and maybe even go as high as 6 and that should make the issues go away, however you may need to touch the screen, not just gently breeze over it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] brapicoco:
My issue is that it loses touch for a period of time and you have to lift your finger in order for the screen to work again, this happens more on flat surfaces especially in bed. It's annoying since it affects the gaming experience. I hope this can ease the problem, so what i need in this case is increased or decreased sensitivity?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] eclyptos:
Same here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Banwell13:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Banwell13:
Try reading earlier posts

This was caimed to also work on the Z1 a few posts back, and is linked to on Z1 forum. I fixed the issue anyway, guess I'll share my fix on Z1.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sashin:
Can anyone with 4.3 or 4.4 post a screen shot of their settings? Mine is horrible. Hoping Sony fixed it in the update.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Thanks, but please: Add "sensitity" tag to your topic's name.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] victormotac:
How you fix that? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] The ILM:
Didn't worked for my zu, still ghost clicking, even continious series. GPe firmware fixes a little, but I didn't like it. I merged idc files of gpe and .136 - no difference, so I think there are another responsible files else.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] marc_ecko28:
You can find it on clearpad.idc
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
:(

Finally not fixed. I set "1" and I need to press the screen a lot to use it, but again this bug.

I have an hardware fix: I clean the phone with microfiber and alcohol iso.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sgtslaughter:
My problem is not the touch, it's the pen! I own an ZU (Root, Stock 4.4.2) and the touch with fingers is excelent. But using a pen (even brought the es22) is a pain in the ass. It's laggy, sometimes it doesn't even work.

Found this thread and experimented a little bit but no change. Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Try to clean with alcohol or soap. I do it every day... :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sgtslaughter:
Problem seems to be gone, all I did was reinserting SIM ans SD and deinstall InNote. Alcohol was not the solution...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ronald_loulan:
Try to adjust to 5 and 7 but the screen is still too sensitive... :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sgtslaughter:
That's strange... I thought the problem to be gone but I was wrong. Here is what happens:

StockROM 4.4.2 nonroot: every input by finger is fine, every input by stylus is fine

StockROM 4.4.2 ROOT (downgrade, root, upgrade, no freezings, no manipulated autostarts): every input by finger is fine, but the stylusinput mostly sucks. After boot everything is fine for a short time but after a short time it begins. The recognition stops while drawing/writing. But the finger works perfect. WTF??

Pic 1 should show a CLOSED graph (it's one of the better ones...)

Pic 2 shows slowly written text

Going back to factory-settings with PC-Companion: everything is fine. Any ideas??
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
Anyone find a fix for the lack of sensitivity of using a ballpoint pen on the screen? I *think* mine used to work very well several firmware versions ago but now has issues. I can't use a pen on the screen anymore. I do have a plastic screen protector installed though.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
I wait for my tempered glass protection. I hope ghost touching and sensitivity will be improved like the test say...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] schmolch:
Unfortunately this does not work for me. I can set it as high as I want without effect.

Its still too sensititive and I'm not cleaning my f***ing phone with alcohol everyday.

I used to clean my old phones with my tongue and the screens worked perfectly, this really bugs me.

Stupid z ultra, I wished there was a better phone that size.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zemblance:
How propitious! Or should that be adventitious? Either way cheers!

I bought my 2nd ZU yesterday (well, they are only £250 these days...) with the intention of removing the Sony film and putting on a glass protector. I bottled it with the film removal though - I'm a fecking coward. It looks great with the glass on top and I had just encountered the sensitivity issue minute before one of my regular trips to XDA!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blitzur:
I have the sensitivity on 7 still sucking around.

I have the reactiontime on long. still going crazy. WHY? ;(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
Touch screen is REALLY improved one time the ASF is removed !!! Same things with the tempered glass.

A really new phone, really better than Note 3.

Remove ASF first !!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emann56:
I have a tempered glass on my screen (ASF still on) and it feels and touches better than ever.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
I don't know with ASF and tempered glass, but there is now way to keep a crappy things like ASF if you use tempered glass.

ASF transparency is just so bad...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shadowcore:
Why isnt this posted somewhere else, like in general?

Regardless of that, I ordered this phone from amazon and got it. I experienced phantom touching today, around the 9th day. I can still return it.

This happened while I was copying music files from my computer.

1. does a custom rom fix this?

I bought this thing because of its size and screen and I cant be arsed to deal with this nonsense at all. Im willing to install a custom rom so that I would never have to deal with this again, did anyone try this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] icehawk223:
Do any of the other numbers do much? Tried changing this number around after my replacement screen is making my screen poorly responsive but not getting any effect... :eek:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Obi-Wan:
I put a tempered glass on the original antitatic film and no more problems.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] StreamingMT:
I have it, all is good, but I remove ****ty ASF. Edges are a little bit brittle: Corners who keep phone in place with cardock are not beautiful.

Try aliexpress.com for low price product.

Anyone have a link to a flashable zip that removes bloatware, that will work in 4.3 AOSP ROM's?

I can't seem to get my old one to work anymore. Maybe because it was for 4.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
What bloatware is there in AOSP??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
All of the stuff I don't want or use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
JUst use Titanium backup and freeze any apps you don;t want to use. Really not worth the effort. Unused app really don;t bother anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Ehh, freezing or uninstalling apps via Titanium takes a LOT longer than just flashing a removal zip. Especially when you're uninstalling about 20-30 apks like I do.

I flash a lot, and not just my phone but my friends as well.

So this method saves me a lot of time:

1) Flash ROM

2) Flash Gapps

3) Flash Bloatkiller

4) Reboot

5) Flash Titanium Backup batch zip of all apps/data

Anyways, I don't need a bloat zip anymore. I couldn't get my old script to work, so I just added all my delete lines to an existing Gapps zip. Which removes step #3 above.

So it flashes my Gapps and removes bloat, all in one zip. Should have just done it this way to begin with! :good:

And OMG I save sooooo much time & frustration by doing things this way.

Now if I can just figure out how to get the TB batch zip to flash immediately after flashing the ROM, then I can use TWRP queue flash to flash all three zips back-to-back with just one swipe.

Having horrible battery drain with wifi running wakelock, even though the wifi is off..If you have the same problem like me, you can easily save more battery with the step below: ( don't know if it been share by anyone here )

- Settings ---> More ---> Security ----> Security Update Service

Uncheck ( Via Wi-Fi only ) Both ( Auto update security ) if you like..

Manage to get under 0.% per hour. ( wifi running remain )

Addition*

- Settings ---> More ---> Location Services

Uncheck ( Use wireless networks )

Please share any other solution if found :D

[Galaxy S 4 General] robkellie11:
If you are still showing WiFi connected in battery usage, use the following steps

CONNECTIONS - WiFi

ADVANCED OPTIONS -

1. Uncheck 'Scanning Always Available'

2. Keep WiFi on....... - Check 'only when plugged in'

Enjoy longer battery life........
[Galaxy S 4 General] qvnsq:
Nice fine..

Option 1, seem to remove the wifi running from bbs.

Wakelock of Google services

Hi all,

I've been fighting with this issue for a while on my I9502 and just recently came to a solution. I use wakelock detector, and it was showing pretty much 95% of the time the phone was awake. I did the Wifi auto scan off thingy, and a few others which did help, but what ultimately helped me with the "google services" caused wakelock was:

Google Play Store -> settings ->

Notifications OFF

Auto update apps OFF

Require password for purchases ALWAYS

My Wifi is still on and running, exchange account (push) and gmail syncing, location services on both wifi and gps. And the phone is in deep sleep when I turn off the screen. Mind you, I have only the following apps on the main screen: Weather Pro, Smooth calendar at the moment. I will try what happens if I put back google now.

I hope it helps some of you.

Off you Wifi when not in use. We tend to forget these things which is why the battery's charge goes down.:cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 General] chrisknife:
use wlan guest mode if ur router supports it and connect only ur phones/tablets in it.

my router does not support it but i bought a second router for 15 euros which is behind my old router now.

like this i almost loose no battery at all over night.

this wlan_rx_wake crap was driving me crazy since i got my first s2 3 years ago. since i got this new router everything is perfect.

if u want to know which router it is please let me know i will post it then

What is wlan guest mode and how does it help with the wifi connection?

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Quite a handy app, turns off wifi/data when your screen is off, but can be set to periodically switch on and sync. Can also set it not to connect when u just switch your screen on (to check the time say).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.leandata
[Galaxy S 4 General] chrisknife:
wlan guest mode an option some routers have. u can enable it and will have a second wlan network online.

it's not connected to the other network so everyone who will use this network is exlcuded from the primary home network.

mostly it's meant for guests so they can do what they want and u don't have to be scared that ur network will get infected with some sh*t.

but in this case u can use it to exclude ur phone from ur primary network and give it his own network.

on ur pc check ur network traffic with wireshark.

u will get so many arp, ipv6 and multicast traffic... android mostly isn't capable to handle it.

atleast it seems that way because all of this will trigger wlan_rx_wake.

it's even worse when u got a network printer and a samsung smart tv (arp requests like every second)
[Galaxy S 4 General] gsmyth:
Thanks for the explanation, I have checked and my router does have a guest network mode, will set this up and give it a try to see how it goes. As I am connected constantly to Wifi when at home and also at work. I can do a good comparison as I have exactly the same router at work as at home, but I can try out the guest network at home to see what the wakelocks are like.

I've run the Wizard Unlocker that is available on this site. It seemed to work OK, but I think I was under the impression that it would make the Wizard's Extended ROM memory available to me as a storage area. I cannot see the Ext-Rom area memory size/availabilty etc.

Am I getting mixed up betwen unlocking the device for any UK network SIM and unlocking the Extended ROM memory area for visiblity and use?

If I am can anyone tell me how to configure my Wizard so that I can use the Extended ROM area. I've seen somewhere a screenshot that shows something like 'Extended-Rom 2' when viewing memory info screen.
